dealing with exceptions in #JsonFormat pattern - spring

Question

I am using the #JsonFormat annotation from the fasterxml.jackson library:
#JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd")
private Date endDate;
#JsonFormat(shape = JsonFormat.Shape.STRING, pattern = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
private Date startDateInUtc;
When the date format isn't correct, I don't get an exception, but instead, get the wrong date object (e.g. month 13 becomes January).
Based on my research, I came across two possible solutions:
Playing with the ObjectMapper. (with the setDateFormat function)
Creating my own Json Deserializer class, that will throw an error when the format is not valid:
public class JsonDateDeserializer extends JsonDeserializer<Date> {
public static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yyyy-MM-dd";
#Override
public Date deserialize(JsonParser jsonParser, DeserializationContext deserializationContext) throws IOException {
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT);
format.setLenient(false);
String dateString = jsonParser.getText();
try {
return format.parse(dateString);
} catch (ParseException e) {
throw new InvalidFormatException(String.format("Date format should be %s", DATE_FORMAT), dateString, Date.class);
}
}
}
With neither solution can I specify a different format for different fields.
Although I can define multiple deserializers, it looks to me like a pretty ugly way to do this.
I thought that the #JsonFormat annotation was designed to deal with different formats of dates in different fields, but as I said, there is no exception when an invalid format is entered.
Could someone suggest an elegant solution to this problem?
